I've met people I didn't think were human
and I've broken the human in me trying to figure them out

Still Crazy
"Who am I? I'm a poet."**


from “La Bohème” by Giacomo Puccini libretto

~~~


"My business? Writing.

How do I live? I live.

In my happy poverty
I squander like a prince,
my poems and songs of love.

In hopes and dreams
and castles-in-the-air,
I'm a millionaire in spirit"
If I lie upon my bed
My muse may come tonight

She’ll whisper in the silence -
“Let’s do this thing just right”

O, if I wait with patience
And listen to her true

She’ll reveal that deep inside of me
Is deep inside of you.
